Gunfire commenced early. Mexico's election law provides, apparently in an effort to improve the shooting, that the first nine citizens who succeed in registering at a voting booth are thereby constituted the election board for the day. By noon hundreds of Mexican voting booths were wrecked, most of the others triumphantly occupied by Ortiz Rubistas. In Mexico City an automobileful of machine gunners swept past a mass meeting of disconsolate Vasconcelistas, killed four, wounded eight.
